Trying to get some input for someone else. Was thinking of upskilling, finding a group, developing a hobby, guided activities. Any ideas?

Turned alcoholic

    The reverse of that process sucks. I have trouble being in social situations that last longer than 30 minutes unless I'm actively engaged in something. I thought I was a very social person. Turns out I was just an alcoholic who overshares.

    Dude, that is my hone town in a nutshell. Nothing to say until they get a few beer in. And I do feel that myself, I was never a heavy drinker or even an alcoholic, but when I am with people that are interesting, nice, friendly, but not someone "like me", I have such an easier time talking to them and being part of the group when I'm a few drinks in. I hate it, it's part of the reason why I am usually very careful around drugs: they fucking work too well.
